Transportation Funding, Air Quality Issues Top Jt. Engineering Agenda


Te Joint Engineering Division


Board covered various topics of particular impact to the heavy construction industry. In his legislative update, AGC lobbyist Dave Ackerman discussed new laws in 2016 and gave a sobering report on the state’s recent $754 million reduction in state transportation


funding over the next five years. Mike Lewis with the Construction


Industry Air Quality Coalition reported on air quality regulatory issues. He discussed the off-road equipment sector and challenges to meet current U.S. EPA and CARB exhaust emission standards. Construction and mining equipment remains the largest contributor to the total off-equipment NOx emission inventory. Lewis noted that longer term NOx Emission reductions will require widespread adoption of near-zero and zero emission systems for mobile construction and commercial (portable) equipment.
